Yoga defends the body from stress and even helps the mind to relax and relieves the mind from any kind of tension. It creates a healthy response of the mind and even makes the nervous system stronger and stable.

AN ENERGY THAT HEALS
Science explains spiritual energy in a very different way as to those who believe it. Perhaps they are not considered to be the actual cure for the problem but as an alternative cure to it. People from all religions all beliefs have one common base to every kind of energy that everything which exists or will exist has to have energy in it, humans being the fundamental sources.

Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese medicine evolved over several thousands of years. Unlike acupuncture, acupressure is the applying of physical pressure to an area of the body without using needles. They also focus highly on healing through spiritual energy, believing it has an ability to cleanse the body and the mind and purge a person of their illness. Brown rice is used as a medicinal food but tends to go rancid faster than other varieties of rice.

Healing Energy
Those who believe in spiritual energy view it differently than energy as described by science. Often the therapies related to healing energy are considered to be alternative medicine. Different cultures have different beliefs on the subject but at its roots the idea remains that everything in existence is made up of energy. This point of view includes the notion that humans are in fact fundamentally energy. These theories are dismissed by the science community as a whole.

Baby Boomers Tackling Aging
Baby Boomers are now in their mid 60’s and about to face the problems that come with aging, including disease, depression, falls, abuse, and dementia. They also have to deal with caring for aging parents, and financial exploitation contributing to more stress and difficulties as they get older. Today polypharmacy is a issue with the elderly being over prescribed drugs from many doctors who are not communicating with each other, leading to deadly drug interactions.

The Future Of Stem Cell Treatment
A problem with stem cell research is keeping embryonic stem cells from differentiating instead of remaining stem cells. Stem cells also have limited availability because they are stored in private blood banks. Researchers can control cells from peoples bodies to a limited extent, providing the cells needed for treatment. This process is still in the beginning stages, but future predictions are that a swab from the inside of ones cheek would be all that is required from a patient.

New Product Offers Hope For Those With Pancreatic Tumors
Pancreatic Cancer is deadly, killing approximately 35,000 people in the US yearly. New technology from Calypso Medical Technologies, Inc., aids in treating cancer patients during radiation treatment. The Calypso (R) system tracks tumor movement in the pancreas. This is extremely important because movement can cause the radiation beam to miss the organ, and irradiate healthy tissue accidentally. This exciting new product is the only one that shows real-time tracking of the tumor, offering hope for those suffering from this terrible disease.
Does Obesity Cause Global Warming?
According to an article published in the “International Journal of Epidemiology” there may be a correlation between obesity and the global warming. The reasoning behind this theory was that food production and transporting it create roughly 34% of greenhouse gases. The theory is a stretch though, and without a realistic study there is no way to judge the validity of the authors claims. Heart attacks caused by obesity are enough of a reason to fight this health problem.
Amish Aid Research Into Parkinson’s Disease That Prevails Throughout Community
Discovering that Parkinson’s Disease is three times higher within the Amish community gave researchers the opportunity to look into what causes this disease, and hopefully discover a cure. PD manifests itself with tremors, and is caused by degeneration of neurons. PD is believed to be passed on genetically, but environmental factors may play a role. The Amish are of great help in the study due to their genetic bottleneck, and lack of outside genetics being introduced into their genetic pool.
